Abstract
We derive the kinetic equation for pure gluon QCD plasma, applying the background field method. The derivation is quite general and is not limited to the vicinity of equilibrium as it was assumed in earlier work. We show that the quantum kinetic equation contains a term, as in the classical case, that describes a colour charge precession of partons moving in the gauge field. We emphasize that this new term is necessary for the gauge covariance of the resulting equation.
